Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use Irish English Шаблон:Infobox rugby club season The 2022–23 season was Ulster Rugby's 29th season since the advent of professionalism in rugby union. They competed in the United Rugby Championship, finishing second in the league table and going out in the quarter-finals, and the European Rugby Champions Cup going out in the round of 16. It was Dan McFarland's fifth season as head coach. Scrum-half John Cooney was leading scorer with 154 points. Hooker Tom Stewart was leading try scorer with 17, and won the URC Top Try Scorer and Next-Gen Player of the Season awards.
Events
Personnel changes
Ulster appointed a new defence coach, Jonny Bell, returning to his home province from a spell at Worcester Warriors, in place of the departing Jared Payne.[1]
New signings include Irish-qualified flanker Sean Reffell, from Saracens,[2] lock Frank Bradshaw Ryan from French club Nevers,[3] out-half Jake Flannery from Munster,[4] former All-Black tighthead prop Jeffery Toomaga-Allen from Wasps,[5] and fullback Shea O'Brien from City of Armagh RFC, on a development contract.[6] Hooker Declan Moore, who was signed as temporary injury cover from Munster last season, made his move to Ulster permanent.[7] Academy centre Jude Postlethwaite signed a development contract, to be upgraded to a full senior contract after a year.[8]
After the collapse of Worcester Warriors, Scotland and Lions international loosehead prop Rory Sutherland joined until the end of the season.[9]
Hooker Bradley Roberts, now a Wales international, left for the Dragons,[10] prop Ross Kane and lock David O'Connor left for Ealing Trailfinders, and lock Mick Kearney, prop Jack McGrath and flanker Sean Reidy were released.[11]
Five new players joined the Academy: last season's Ulster Schools Player of the Year, Campbell College lock Joe Hopes; QUB flanker Lorcan McLaughlin; Cambridge House Grammar flanker James McNabney; Coleraine Grammar fullback Rory Telfer; and Wallace High School prop Scott Wilson.
Summer internationals
Seven Ulster players were selected for Ireland's tour to New Zealand: hooker Rob Herring, prop Tom O'Toole, locks Iain Henderson and Kieran Treadwell, flanker Nick Timoney, centres Stuart McCloskey and James Hume, and fullback Michael Lowry. Treadwell, Herring and O'Toole made test appearances. Hume, Timoney, Lowry and McCloskey appeared in non-test matches against the Māori All Blacks. Henderson injured his knee before the opening match, and Hume injured his groin in the opening match against the Māori All Blacks.
James McCormick, Adam McNamee, Reuben Crothers, Josh Hanlon, Charlie Irvine, Lorcan McLaughlin, James McNabney, Reece Malone, Scott Wilson and Joseph Mawhinney all appeared for Ireland U20s in the summer.
Pre-season
Ulster's pre-season campaign opened on 2 September with a home friendly against Exeter Chiefs,[12] which they won 31-12. Jacob Stockdale scored a try on his return from injury, and new scrum-half Michael McDonald was named man of the match.[13]
A second friendly, away to Glasgow Warriors, arranged for 9 September, was cancelled following the death of Queen Elizabeth II the day before.[14]
Emerging Ireland tour
Ten Ulster players were selected for the Emerging Ireland tour to South Africa for the Toyota Challenge at the end of September: wings Robert Baloucoune and Ethan McIlroy; centre Stewart Moore; out-half Jake Flannery; scrum-halves Nathan Doak and Michael McDonald; loosehead prop Callum Reid; hooker Tom Stewart; lock Cormac Izuchukwu;[15] and flanker David McCann.[16]
First block
The team opened the season with a 36-10 home victory over Connacht in the URC. Hooker Tom Stewart made his first senior start, scored a try and was named Player of the Match.[17] After a high-scoring away win against Scarlets, in which John Cooney scored 30 points,[18] Ulster lost at home to Leinster in heavy rain.[19] There followed a 47-17 win over Ospreys, in which Luke Marshall and Sam Carter scored two tries each.[20] Ulster then became the first northern hemisphere team to win in South Africa this season, beating the Lions in Johannesburg.[21] Their next match, against the Sharks in Durban, was postponed after an outbreak of E. coli and norovirus meant they were unable to field a team.[22] Ulster narrowly beat Munster away, with Rory Sutherland making his debut[23] and John Andrew making his 100th appearance for the province, both off the bench,[24] and went into the international break second in the URC table.
Autumn international break
Eight Ulster players were called up to the Ireland squad for the 2022 end-of-year internationals: Robert Baloucoune, Rob Herring, Michael Lowry, Stuart McCloskey, Tom O'Toole, Jacob Stockdale, Nick Timoney and Kieran Treadwell. Two more, James Hume and Marty Moore, were selected for the panel for Ireland 'A' to play a New Zealand XV.[25]
Second block
After the international break, Ulster had a comfortable home win over Zebre Parma, with Tom Stewart scoring two tries.[26] They then travelled to Leinster, and led the league leaders at half time, before Leinster fought back to win the game 38-29.[27] This began a three-game losing streak, as Ulster lost their opening two games in the Champions Cup. After poor weather caused travel disruption, they capitulated 39-0 away to Sale Sharks.[28] A frozen pitch at Ravenhill meant Ulster's home game against reigning champions La Rochelle had to be relocated to Dublin's Aviva Stadium at the last minute, with the match played behind closed doors. La Rochelle built a 29-0 half-time lead, but Ulster improved enough in the second half to earn two bonus points in a 29-36 defeat.[29] Returning to the URC, Ulster halted their losing streak with a close away win against Connacht, featuring another two-try display from Tom Stewart.[30] After last-minute defeats to Munster (during which flanker Sean Reffell made a URC record 42 tackles,[31] and tighthead prop Marty Moore's season was ended by an anterior cruciate ligament injury)[32] and Benetton in the URC and La Rochelle in the Champions Cup, Ulster secured qualification for the last 16 of the Champions Cup with a home win over Sale. They reached the Six Nations break with a bonus point home win against the Stormers, sitting at third in the URC table and second in the Irish shield.[33]
Academy lock Harry Sheridan made his senior debut in the away defeat to La Rochelle.[34]
Six Nations international break
Five Ulster players were called up to the initial Ireland squad for the 2023 Six Nations Championship: Iain Henderson, Rob Herring, Tom O'Toole, Stuart McCloskey and Jacob Stockdale. Tom Stewart was later added to the squad as cover for the injured Ronan Kelleher,[35] Nick Timoney was added to the squad ahead of the fourth match against Scotland,[36] and Kieran Treadwell was called up for the fifth match against England.[37]
James McNabney, Rory Telfer and Joe Hopes all featured for Ireland in the U20 Six Nations.[38][39]
During the Six Nations, Ulster played three away games, losing to Glasgow Warriors, before travelling to Durban to defeat the Sharks in a fixture rearranged from October, and then defeating Cardiff. This left Ulster in third.[40]
Centre Jude Postlethwaite made his senior debut in the away win against Cardiff.[41]
Third block
Ulster finished the URC regular season with three home games. In the first of these three, they defeated the Bulls, with Tom Stewart scoring a hat-trick. This result made them the first European team in the URC to beat all four South African sides in the same season.[42] The following week they went out of the Champions Cup in the round of 16, losing 30-15 to Leinster at the Aviva Stadium. Back in the URC, they moved into second with a bonus point win against the Dragons 40-21, with Tom Stewart scoring another hat-trick. The following week they secured second place with a home win over Edinburgh, earning a home quarter-final against Connacht, which they lost 10-15. Wing Jacob Stockdale made his 100th appearance for the province, and hooker Rob Herring equalled the all-time appearance record with 229, alongside Andrew Trimble and Darren Cave.[43]
URC awards
Tom Stewart was the URC's Top Try Scorer with 16, a record for the competition - beating the 14 scored by Edinburgh's Tim Visser in 2010-11 and the Cheetahs' Rabz Maxwane in 2018-19,[44] and the Next-Gen Player of the Season award for players under 23 who have fewer than five international caps.[45]
